One bug, the filename should be zh_CN.po, not zh_cn.po. On my Mac,
the filesystem is case insensitive, locale works fine, but in Linux won't.

I will send the patch again with correct filename and with translates
for news message from Git master branch.
(previous l10n is against git v1.7.9, i.e. the maint branch)

The perror test program does impact chinese too.
On Linux with well translated system error messages, with the following output:

    $ ./test
    test: ??????

On Mac without translated system error messages, output is all ascii.
